When I was younger FIAT meant "Fix it again Tony"....They don;t make anything bigger than golf carts.



Here's what happened to most of them when parts to fix them became "unavailable".

Daimler did the right thing,,,, I can;t wait for the new "K car" (FIAT will make it a convertible.)

And the unions will make it 52,000 dollars.

Itailian car makers either make the most expensive cars on the planet that don't run well or the cheapest cars on the planet that don't run well.  There is no in between!  I feel for the employees, I do!  But I saw the writing on the wall in 1980 and got the heck out of the industry, thank God I did.

I've recently had some experience with some of the fabrication products coming out of Italy in the form of a high power laser cutting systems.  I have extensive experience with at least four other manufacturers of similar systems and the Italian version is a very large, very expensive, brightly colored TURD!  I expect nothing different from Fiat.....

Sorry, gotta say it again, let the dead dog lie......It's done, let it go...no amount of my money is worth that third strke!!!

Not to defend the Union, but they do not set the price of vehicles. Chrysler does. Over 17% of the cost of the vehicle pays for advertising. Only 3% of a vehicle sold goes to union wages. The rest goes back into the company.

Don't forget the costs added on due to Govt "Regulations".
